The ₹2,000 note saga
I write this letter as a retired Director (Medical), Central Labour Institute, Mumbai. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has advised people to deposit ₹2,000 notes in banks. However, some banks are taking the opportunity and fishing in troubled waters by imposing cash handling charges even on deposits made with ₹2,000 notes — even after the RBI’s announcement. This amounts to fleecing customers. Such actions are anti-people and add insult to injury.
